composition is not just writing something down or simply filling things out. We are writing to communicate ideas, to make others feel or understand something.
Historically, we experienced an impulse to write. And in the early twentieth century, writing has little status apart from handwriting. And composition is not even a formal curriculum in the 20th century.
Writing is often linked to testing. And composition is influenced by two trends--science and progressivism. With technology, composition is easier than before to teach or to engage in. Everyone is a writer now.
Mostly, we write to participate.
